Let’s Look at Dresses- 2016 TONY Awards Red Carpet

Last night’s TONY awards red carpet provided plenty of dressporn to look at, along with some questionable style choices. Although the red carpet was windy, and the mood was somber – given the tragedy in Orlando early that morning, the stars came to spread messages of encouragement. Most displayed a silver ribbon pin in honor of those victims.

In case you were ever wondering why a wedding blog covers fashion events- or even if you were not wondering this, here are my thoughts: Fashion influences weddings, and weddings can even influence fashion. Wedding dresses are getting more and more diverse, and unconventional. Any of these red carpet gowns could be a wedding dress. And its just nice to look at for some dress inspiration.

Cynthia Erivo had a spectacular performance of a song from The Color Purple during the show that earned her a standing ovation. I love her bold choice of a dress for the red carpet – if it looks familiar, think of Beyonce smashing windows, because this is the same Roberto Cavalli dress in a different color.

Cate Blanchett went for ‘edgy’ apparently, and I have mixed feelings. The Louis Vuitton dress is very heavy, and then her makeup takes the look to an even darker place. I just don’t know… I mean, it’s summer.

There’s a lot going on with this dress, and I don’t know exactly how to describe it… A little bit ’90’s, with modern cut-outs? Other publications are labeling her as worst dressed, but she’s my best dressed.

I loved that Diane Lane chose to wear this bold wide-leg jumpsuit, but the fit seemed off. When she was presenting I took solace in the fact that palazzo pants give Diane the same square-hipped look that they give me. This is why I don’t wear them.
